SCP AUTHOR FLOSSIE BENTON ROGERS

The
universe amazes Kelly O’Day by gifting her with hot Viking warrior
Ingvar Hrothson in my paranormal fantasy romance, Wytchfae Runes.
Language is not a barrier for the culturally diverse couple. Kelly’s
fae blood gives her the ability to decipher what he’s saying, and
Ingvar’s comprehension skills have grown during his years of
wandering. Sometimes it’s handy to be a ghost. Imagine Kelly’s
surprise, however, to learn that many common English words originated
in ancient Norway. Here are just a few:

Steak
- After plying her Viking with Irish whiskey and Chocklot Puffs,
Kelly later relents and cooks him a steak—rare of course.

Bag
- Kelly’s small magical bag given to her by the Swamp Wytch is
larger inside than out. That’s lucky when emissaries from other
dimensions present her with unwieldy tools such as a bow and quiver
and snakeskin cloak.

Berserk
- During his life as a Viking warrior, Ingvar knew the feeling of
being a berserker in battle and using fearless enraged instinct to
defeat his enemies.

Anger
- Ingvar’s flaring anger at the witch who cursed him to walk the
earth as a ghost often goads him into reckless action. Kelly soothes
his warrior’s spirit so that he can handle situations with more
deliberation.

Knife
- The knife that Ingvar slips Kelly for protection belongs to one of
the thugs who tried to murder them in their sleep. If the couple ever
gets out of the mess they’re in, Ingvar wants to buy her a dagger
with a jeweled hilt. He’d like to see it strapped to her thigh.

Hell
- In the domain of the beautiful Helle, Kelly and Ingvar are served
tea by Clark Gable’s double. No amenity is out of reach for the
Goddess of the Underworld.
